Following the method described in the Atlas biological data warehouse [ 26], we designed data loading applications for each PPI database and a relational data storage system compliant with the Proteomics Standards Initiative Molecular Interaction Standard (PSI-MI) controlled vocabulary [ 10], a community-standard XML format for the presentation of protein interaction data.
The BioWarehouse, Atlas and BioDWH are database schemas and toolkits to construct biological data warehouses.
In this way, InterMine does not require, as other biological data warehouses do, a pre-defined database schema to perform.
Through its speed and flexibility, InterMine provides an advanced system for setting up biological data warehouses that facilitate bioinformatics analysis.
As a data warehouse framework, InterMine allows the integration of a wide range of biological data sources by framing its underlying data models on an ontology-based foundation.
Military officials said the scientist told them that four days before President Bush gave Mr. Hussein 48 hours to leave Iraq or face war, Iraqi officials set fire to a warehouse where biological weapons research and development was conducted.
In tropical rain forest leaf litter, a warehouse of biological diversity, little is known about the functional biology of even the most abundant organisms [ 6].
All the data were extracted and processed using Perl (version 5.16.0) scripts with help of BioPerl modules (version 1.6.901) (30); the collected processes, interactions and terms for both biological and technical are warehoused into a MySQL database (version 5.5).
Moving beyond isolated sample collection, biorepositories now comprise comprehensive and sophisticated data warehouses containing biological material, results from associated biochemical investigations, detailed participant-level information (e.g. self-completed questionnaires and clinical records) and area-level variables (e.g. measures of environmental exposures).
A fundamental requirement is the capacity to warehouse large amounts of biological sequence data that are currently inundating the publicly available database resources.
